Local Law Enforcement
Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Cars, exterior walls and mailboxes were defaced, sometimes with swastikas, they stated in a release.
Officers state they were contacted late on Wednesday, when a man observed that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish fluid.
The liquid had been applied in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.
Officers then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Officials report early analysis indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have asked to the community for tips.
A senior official commented the attack rendered him stunned and required to be solved rapidly.
"This act hits the center of Hanau and reopens the pain of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he posted on online, recalling the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in February 2020.
